We moved into our house in early 2008 and were promised a grocery store by the end of the year and…read morea park in the not too distant future. Fast forward to July of 2013, there is still no grocery store in sight (much to our dismay) but we FINALLY have our neighborhood park! More than FIVE YEARS LATER! It's very nice to no longer have to load the kids into the car to get to the nearest park, we can now walk there. The kids love to run in the huge field, try to play basketball on the half court (they are still way too small for this), have lunch at one of the four picnic tables under a shade structure, swing on the swings, play in the sandbox and climb and slide on the playground equipment. However, we do feel that the city of Rancho Cordova skimped on our park and many other neighbors agree. Originally, the field was supposed to have a baseball diamond with backboard and soccer goals. We were told midway through that they would buy portable equipment instead of the permanent ones, but I have not heard where this is stored nor how to obtain use of them. The field is large enough to have had a full basketball court, rather than just a half court. Many dog owners wish that a portion of the field could have been fenced off to let their dogs run free, as the law is that dogs must be on leash at all times in the park (which I appreciate since I have small children that I do not wish to be mauled). There is no shade, other than over the small picnic area (they do provide two bbq grills and a good number of trash cans, which is nice) and that makes the play equipment boiling hot much of the summer. Worst of all, no water and no bathrooms. None at all. We were told that a water fountain would have been cost prohibitive! What all this means is that we lug over a cooler with water as the kids inevitably get very thirsty playing in the hot sun and one bottle of drink will not suffice. It also means that two hours is our absolute limit as someone eventually has to use the bathroom and there is nowhere to go. You can see in my pictures that the nearest houses are still blocks away. We will never have a party here for this reason. Also, the playground equipment and basketball court can get crowded at certain parts of the day and our neighborhood is maybe only halfway complete. Our understanding is that this is the only park planned for us. Once it is complete I can see the park being overrun, as nearly everyone has small children. While we appreciate finally having our neighborhood park, we feel slighted and disappointed based on what we were promised when we originally moved here. If I did not love my house and we were in a better financial situation, I feel as though we might be looking to move elsewhere in the Sacramento area.

Folsom, Livermore Park: Park Ranger Dennis…read more 8/17/26 Very kind and helpful park ranger. I lost my keys, had my puppies loaded in truck and was aimlessly trying to find key fob for about 20 min. I asked him as he was driving by if he happened to see a key fob during his maintenance of park. He pulled over, offered to help look, said no to worry and then found keys within 5 min! Aside from the heroics of him finding the keys, he has a great presence at the park and helped/spoke to a few other people that same morning. Thanks Dennis!

Good (12) Pickleball Courts but they have exploded in popularity and you have to wait a long time or play later and later now. If it was just me, I'd wait later to play or go on off hours but friends rather go at certain times. Folsom should build more.

hi-ya! Great park…read morewith a handful of amenities for the kids. The play area is reasonably shaded, albeit not a lot of tables. The field needs work as there are a lot of rough spots that prevents clean passes to happen when playing soccer. The park is located right in the middle of a residential area, with decent parking all around. I there isn't a lot of mature trees yet, but time will change that. Overall 3 stars because there isn't anything spectacular that stands out and the field needs work.

Adj: Hilltop Handy Family Park with a Happy View…read more This is one of Folsom's hidden gems in our books. We visit Folsom to meet friends and to explore and do nature-type activities as well as shopping and discovered Handy Family Park on one occasion. Handy Family Park is apparently one of Folsom's most elevated parks. Set on a hilltop, it's a lovely neighborhood park. Though it's smaller compared to regional parks, it's actually pretty big, it's just that it's atop a hill so not all of the space is usable for sports courts, but all of it is scenic and most of it is recreational space. You can reach this park by taking the E. Bidwell exit on Hwy 50, and then it's a really quick drive past the Costco and the In-N-Out, then take Scholar Way, and it's at 1560 Cavitt Dr. You can't walk directly into the park from the parking lot b/c you have to go UP to the top of the "hill", so you can either take the stairs or there's a longer path/ramp for ADA accessibility. Thankfully, the bathrooms are at the start of the park/bottom of the stairs so those who need to use the restrooms can get to them without going into the park. Once you climb up, you're rewarded with an amazing overlook of several neighborhoods and the rolling hills of Folsom. I've only been here in the daytime, but I imagine that it'd be extra beautiful after dark when the lights shine and sparkle all over for a night view. The park offers a lighted baseball field, a huge soccer field, a basketball court, open fields for free recreation, and multiple walking pathways that wind around for a nice stroll throughout the park while you get a nice panoramic view no matter which way you look. In addition to the amenities above, there's a barbecue with a couple of picnic tables under a covered pavilion at the edge of the hilltop so it's really a nice place for a picnic or little party. There's also a couple of kids play structure (one for bigger kids and one for the littles). My kids enjoyed playing here and running around when they were younger, but we still like coming here whenever we're in Folsom b/c Handy Family Park got such a scenic view and it's usually not too crowded. It is always a great place to bring our own picnic and hang out as a family in "nature" not too far from all the conveniences of civilization.

It still has that new look…read moreand feel. +2 synthetic turf bocce courts with ample seating. +2 lighted tennis courts. +2 soccer/lacrosse fields. One on natural grass and the other on synthetic turf. The synthetic field has lights. +2 play areas. +Bike trail that connects to The Parkway system. +Parking lot. I walked on the synthetic turf. Kinda springy. Boy, it was nice on the old knees. FYI- No dogs are allowed on the synthetic turf. Here is a bit of history about the name of the park. The park is named to honor brothers George (1934-2018) and Nick Econome and their respective wives, Marilyn (1933-2020) and Ann. George served as a US Army medical officer in Korea in the late 1950s. Both brothers are licensed pharmacists. They bought Model pharmacy in 1961 when Folsom was a sleepy tiny town and ran the pharmacy for 30 years. They were active in many community organizations and loved to give back to the community. FYI- The Model pharmacy was located in the shopping center where the Big 5 sports shop is located now on East Bidwell Street.

Hurray to the City of Folsom Parks and Rec for this great use of the 5 acres. Broder Park preserves the history of the land. A portion of the olive orchard has been kept. The olive trees are still thriving. New fruit trees have been added since the 2020 park opening. The city also planted new vines in the area where the vineyards use to be. Remnants of the original concrete base of the Broder house is preserved and makes for the border of the patch of real grass. The City did its best to salvage material from the Homestead to be used in the park. The park is elevated with gentle sloping walking paths. The elevation makes for some pretty nice views of the surrounding area. The park has walking paths, some or paved and others are sand packed. Both are ADA compliant. There are benches and information boards about the Broder Ranch and activities, the olive orchards and vineyards, and the way folks in this area received water in the late 1800. The info boards are scattered about the different areas. There is a pavilion with picnic benches that is right next to a play area with farm animal statues. The statues are meant to be climbed on. Above that area is a horseshoe pit. Bring your own horseshoes to toss about. The first time I explored this park was when I visited the neighboring park for a Little League game. Since then, I have been back several times minus the Little League games.
